Diversity and Complexity
This book provides an introduction to the role of diversity in complex adaptive systems. A complex system--such as an economy or a tropical ecosystem--consists of interacting adaptive entities that produce dynamic patterns and structures. Diversity plays a different role in a complex system than it does in an equilibrium system, where it often merely produces variation around the mean for performance measures. In complex adaptive systems, diversi…
Emergent cultural signatures and persistent diversity
Empirical evidence demonstrates that cultures exist, they differ from one another, they're coherent and yet diversity persists within them. In this paper, we describe a multi-dimensional model of cultural formation that produces all of these properties. Our model includes two forces: an internal desire to be consistent and social pressure to conform. When both forces operate, the society converges to a coordinated behavior that is consistent acro…
The Difference
In this landmark book, Scott Page redefines the way we understand ourselves in relation to one another. The Difference is about how we think in groups--and how our collective wisdom exceeds the sum of its parts. Why can teams of people find better solutions than brilliant individuals working alone? And why are the best group decisions and predictions those that draw upon the very qualities that make each of us unique? The answers lie in diversity…
Can Game(s) Theory Explain Culture
The hallmarks of cultural behavior include consistency within and across individuals, variance between populations, behavioral stickiness, and possibly suboptimal performance. In this article, we build a formal framework within which these behavioral attributes emerge from the interactions of purposive agents. We then derive mathematical results showing these behaviors are optimal given our assumptions. Our framework rests on two primary assumpti…
Path dependence and the validation of agent‐based spatial models of land use
In this paper, we identify two distinct notions of accuracy of land‐use models and highlight a tension between them. A model can have predictive accuracy: its predicted land‐use pattern can be highly correlated with the actual land‐use pattern. A model can also have process accuracy: the process by which locations or land‐use patterns are determined can be consistent with real world processes. To balance these two potentially conflicting motivati…

Telecommunications and urban design
Much of the life of cities is the interaction of deeply embedded structures--of buildings, infrastructures and social relations--with the flows of people, commodities and ideas. The growth in recent decades of intense telecommunications has added a dimension which calls for new understandings, as Stephen Graham has argued ( City 5:3), of the social exclusion and displacement which can follow. In this paper Scott Page and Brian Phillips construct …
